Note:
- Successful validation lasts for 30 days for all protected page options except for IP address restriction.
- Validation is cookie-based, if you access the protected page from a different device or if the browser cookies have been cleared, you will be prompted to revalidate. You can also remove and re-add the protected page to force a revalidation for all users.
- If you add the root directory of the website (/) as a protected page, it may disrupt the SSL issuance and renewal processes.
